#sorry to vent but like its weird having 2 rlly eye-opening days near eachother

weird thing abt going to events that are targeted at people like you is that you dont feel so alone there

i met queer people, neurodivergent people, trans people, all like me, last week.

it’s made me realise that im not alone, and feeling like you’re not alone is amazing!

but then when you realise the sting of loneliness, it makes it harder to go to a place (cough cough SCHOOL cough cough) that is just people being relentlessly rude and mean for the sake of being rude and mean so much harder

same thing with having friends that get you outside of school.

i spent hours with a friend on Saturday and i’ve never rlly had someone get all the random jokes i make before, it was PEAK!

and then im expected to go back to the place where i get harassed for being “weird”? questioned for being trans and queer? ignored for being autistic and anxious?

TLDR: I’ve learnt I’m not alone and I do indeed have people that understand me, making it seem unfair I have to go to school, where it’s just ignorant people making me suffer for 6-7 hrs a day
